It told a complete arc, which aside from The Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit, every good first film has done in every series. The second film is the film where this isn't exactly required since its usually the fall of the hero.

The Machines weren't defeated though and humans were still in the Matrix against their will. Until all the humans that wanted to be out of the Matrix were out and there was at least some peace between them and the machines, then the story wasn't exactly over.

I really think it did. Its like saying that Star Wars didn't need a sequel. If they turned it into "The Empire Strikes Back" like they should have, then everyone would agree that the Matrix needed a sequel.

I liked revolutions up until it shite its pants at the end with all the psychobabble. They really one-upped themselves with the new characters. And the chase on the freeway was one of the most ambitious action sequences there is.
